Gaetz for attorney general
In the sychophantocracy that is appointments to the next Presidential cabinet, noted pedophile Matt Gaetz is the next Attorney General. The best way to protect a henhouse is to put a fox in charge.

Melania controls her roll
The incoming First Lady has declined to meet with the outgoing First Lady and, apparently has no plans to move back into the White House, instead splitting time between Palm Beach and New York City. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/14/melania-trump-first-lady-white-house-2024
The world’s richest man is about to get a free public education
If you love the idea of Elon Musk cutting the hell out of everything, consider this from George Will: “Debt service (13.1% of fiscal 2024 spending) is not optional and is larger than defense (12.9%), which Trump wants to increase. Entitlements (principally Social Security and Medicare) are 34.6%, and by Trumpian fiat are sacrosanct. So, Musk’s promise is to cut about 30% of the total budget from a roughly 40% portion of the budget, politics be damned.” In other words, Musk stands no chance. https://www.avpress.com/opinion/editorial/world-s-richest-person-is-abo…
